Which silver coin is best to buy?

The best silver coins to buy are the 1 troy ounce silver bullion coins of various years. These coins offer the best value for money and the highest silver content per euro compared to newly minted coins. Silver bullion coins are produced in sizes ranging from 1/4 troy ounce (7.8 grams) up to 10 kilograms. The 1 troy ounce coins are typically the most affordable, as they are minted in much larger quantities and represent the global industry standard.

However, some investors prefer smaller coins even though they carry a slightly higher premium, as these can be more practical for trade or barter in emergency situations. If that’s important to you, consider the historical Dutch silver guilders. Other clients choose the 1 kilogram silver coins, as they are competitively priced and may also hold collectible value.

Important: coins purchased directly from the mint are subject to 21% VAT on the sale price. This makes them less attractive to private investors compared to “various years” coins sold under the margin scheme. Learn more about the difference between new silver coins and various years.

Reselling Silver Coins

When selling your silver bullion coins back to us, all weights are repurchased at a fixed percentage of the current silver price. Learn more about what the spot price means, how the buyback rate is calculated, and about selling silver and selling silver coins.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to invest in silver coins, the 1 troy ounce silver coins of various years are usually the best priced and offer the highest silver content for your money. Please note that newly minted coins are subject to 21% VAT. If no silver coins are in stock, explore our VAT-free silver options or purchase VAT-free silver through the precious metals account in the Holland Gold App.
